Often in recent years, I have become more and more interested in the maintenance of watches and watchmaking in general. There are many who like to sell watches, but few who are interested in the maintenance of watches. problems that many watches later develop over the years<\/strong>. I come to the conclusion that there are always questions, anomalies or incidents that I had not been aware of before, and therefore that this speciality, within my sector, makes me learn a little more every day due to its complexity.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I note that there is a lot of misinformation in the public about watchmaking<\/strong>. But the most important and worrying thing is that how a watch should be cared for and maintained is not properly explained.<\/strong> in conditions.<\/p>\n I have started this article with many questions, very common among clients and friends, but there are many more. We try to give answers to these and others. The most important thing is to answer them as clearly and didactically as possible, because in many cases, if not, it is difficult to understand.<\/p>\n I would like to elaborate on some specific issues, and in response to queries or concerns from our followers, I will do so in the best possible way.<\/p>\n There is no doubt that issues such as \"what types of mechanisms a watch can have\", \"what are the most common arrangements\" or \"the accuracy of self-winding watches\".<\/strong>The most in-demand, of course, but there are always new consultations.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 1.Why does my watch stop?<\/strong><\/p>\n Almost always when a watch stops, it is due to a lack of battery in quartz-digital watches or lack of cleaning of the module, it can also be that a component (circuit-winding) has been damaged. Or it may have received a blow. In mechanical watches, the cause is almost always a lack of cleaning, which is sometimes accompanied by the replacement of a part that has been worn over time or a lack of lubrication.<\/p>\n 2.Why does my watch make a strange noise on the inside?<\/strong><\/p>\n Normally if something strange sounds inside the watch, it could be due to a blow, a loose part of the machine, screw, flange, battery, etc.<\/p>\n 3.Why has the crown come off my watch?<\/strong><\/p>\n It could be that the tie rod is broken, that it has unscrewed from the seat post due to lack of lubrication or that it is broken due to rust.<\/p>\n 4.Why does water get into my watch and where does it come from?<\/strong><\/p>\n Water can enter the watch if it is submersible, because it has a damaged adjustment gasket, so it is always advisable to test the water-resistance every two or three years and replace all the gaskets every two or three years to prevent water from entering.<\/p>\n 5.Is my watch automatic, hand-wound or quartz?<\/strong><\/p>\n The watch that works with a battery is quartz, the one that has to be wound manually every day or every two days is manually wound, then we have the automatic watch that is usually wound with the movement of the hand-arm, as it has an internal oscillating mass that rotates and makes an internal spring tension that generates a force on the escapement, setting the balance wheel of the watch in motion. This watch can also be wound by hand to help in the beginning.<\/p>\n 6.What power reserve time should the automatic movement of my watch have?<\/strong><\/p>\n 48 hours or 72 hours depending on the movement, usually without going into watches with higher complications that may exceed this.<\/p>\n 7.Why does my automatic watch stop when I am wearing it?<\/strong><\/p>\n In the case of an automatic watch because it does not charge correctly, it will have a problem in the oscillating weight or automatic winding wheels, inverter wheel, etc.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 8.Why does my watch go forward or backward?<\/strong><\/p>\n It is advanced or delayed due to lack of revision of the movement and wear of a component.<\/p>\n 9.Can the dial of my watch be cleaned?<\/strong><\/p>\n The dials are normally refurbished or replaced with a new one.<\/p>\n 10.How much does a watch battery really cost?<\/strong><\/p>\n The battery itself has a low price, but for a watch to stay properly it is preferable to pay a little more and change the seals before closing to complete the change, that way you will be sure that there will be no surprises from water, steam and\/or sweat later on.<\/p>\n 11.Can I bathe with my watch on?<\/strong><\/p>\n Provided it is submersible and the necessary checks have been carried out.<\/p>\n 12.How often should I check my automatic watch?<\/strong><\/p>\n An automatic watch should be serviced every 3 to 4 years. Depending on the model, depending on whether it is a modern watch or an old one. Usually people who have an automatic watch think that they don't need to service it as long as it keeps the time correctly, and this is a big mistake. All automatic mechanisms need to be well lubricated, as their dryness can lead to the breakage of springs, pawls, oscillating masses and other forniture parts, which in many cases are difficult to replace and often have to be made on a lathe. This entails a much higher cost than making the relevant revisions, and in some cases there is no solution and the result is much worse.<\/p>\n 13.I have an automatic watch and in 20 years I have not serviced it, and now it has stopped and does not work, why?<\/strong><\/p>\n Lack of cleanliness and parts will certainly need to be replaced. Failure to check it occasionally will almost certainly lead to lack of lubrication, parts being forced and breakage.<\/p>\n 14.How much does it cost to replace the glass in my watch?<\/strong><\/p>\n Depending on the type of glass and brand there are mineral, sapphire, optical, plex, etc.<\/p>\n 15.I have a very scratched watch, can it be polished?<\/strong><\/p>\n As long as it is gold, silver or steel, yes. You will have to be very careful, as some brands like Montblanc give rhodium to some of their watches and if you polish it without knowing it, it can be very complicated to give rhodium again.<\/p>\n 16.The numerals and indices have come off the dial of my watch, is this normal, is there a solution?<\/strong><\/p>\n It is normal that the glue dries and causes them to fall off, but they stick again. Sometimes it happens and it is usually preceded by a blow.<\/p>\n 17.Can the clasp of my watch be fixed?<\/strong><\/p>\n Depending on the problem you have and the type of closure.<\/p>\n 18.How much does a leather strap for my watch cost and what types of straps can I fit?<\/strong><\/p>\n There are many prices depending on the type of strap. Alligator leather straps tend to be the most expensive, and some custom straps with internal brackets near the case. There are cheaper ones in lizard, crocodile, smooth leather, etc. ..... There are also those that imitate these.<\/p>\n 19.Why doesn't the calendar on my watch change?<\/strong><\/p>\n The calendar jump wheel or the calendar disc may be broken.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I hope you have found these little notes useful, and if you have, please share them with us.<\/p>\n Thank you, I look forward to seeing you!<\/strong><\/p>\n Paco Blasco<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u00bf QU\u00c9 LE OCURRE A MI RELOJ 1.\u00bfPor qu\u00e9 se para mi reloj? 2.\u00bfPor qu\u00e9 suena un ruido raro en mi reloj por dentro? 3.\u00bfPor qu\u00e9 se le ha salido la corona a mi reloj? 4.\u00bfPor qu\u00e9 le entra agua a mi reloj y por d\u00f3nde? 5.Mi reloj, \u00bfes autom\u00e1tico, de cuerda manual o […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6860,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_joinchat":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[304],"tags":[342,343,344,345,346,347],"class_list":["post-6768","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-historia","tag-blog-relojes","tag-murcia","tag-relojeria","tag-relojeria-en-murcia","tag-relojes-en-murcia","tag-taller-de-relojeria"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blascojoyero.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6768"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blascojoyero.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blascojoyero.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blascojoyero.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blascojoyero.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6768"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blascojoyero.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6768\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6862,"href":"https:\/\/blascojoyero.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6768\/revisions\/6862"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blascojoyero.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6860"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blascojoyero.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6768"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blascojoyero.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6768"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blascojoyero.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6768"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/blascojoyero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/dddd.jpg\")
